i threw pretty well. a 986 followed by a 982 at the ill. state champs to take 4th in advanced. i did leave a few out there with a few missed dinkers but a great day all around followed by a keg for the whole field!

Played it forward on Sunday. Best shot from the reds with the wife. Shot a frustrating -6. Frustrating because we played at mid afternoon. The Dizzle was packed. Fortunately you can usually play safari golf and avoid the large groups or slow groups and still get in the whole 27. Not yesterday.

Mixed feelings about the crowds really. People want the sport to explode into the mainstream. Looks like we've just about arrived here. Unfortunately far too many of those folks don't have a clue about etiquette. I could go off on a rant about a couple guys, but I won't.

Point is, never again. Never play JD on a nice weekend midday. We did manage to play 16 of the 27. And except for a couple of holes where the etiquette thing interrupted our mojo we did shoot 6 down. No bogeys and we did play the longest holes on the course.

Played an OK round sunday, pretty much on my average. The nice thing was that it looked like it was about to rain the whole round but never did. Because of the weather the course was completely empty. I was playing solo, and had a great time not having to constantly play through larger groups. Luckily the weather held.
